Description

I purchased this box with a decent-sized collection of Hofbauer crystal in a local auction. I could not find this item on Replacements.com or eBay. I performed an extensive search for anything similar on Google Images using various descriptors, but couldn't find anything. What I did find that was of similar size and quality raised my eyebrows a bit when I saw the price tags.

This looked like Hofbauer to me when I bought it and the sticker on the inside bottom of the box says "Creart Eicht Bleikristall 30% P.bo D. Handgeschliffen" (spaces indicate next line down) but I assumed if it was, I would be able to find a piece just like it online.

Thank you for your help!
